Ethos & Vision
As a Church of England school, we pride ourselves in promoting a strong Christian ethos within a caring and supporting environment. We believe it is important to develop Christian core values that will impact the way we live our lives, both at school and in the wider community as God intended.
'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me'
Philippians 4 v 13
- At Bridgemere CE Primary, our vision is for all our pupils to become lifelong learners.
- We believe our adaptive curriculum enables all pupils to flourish and reach their unique potential.
- In order to flourish, we aim to support every child and adult with the diverse challenges of everyday life.
perseverance, creativity, trust, compassion,
friendship, community, responsibility, thankfulness
'A small rural school with a big Christian heart'
Our visions and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident and happy members of the community.
We nurture and maintain strong links with the Church and the local community. We give children the opportunity to experience what being a Christian is, in a warm, friendly family where everyone feels safe.
Our Church, our Faith
We gather together for collective worship every day and ensure it is inclusive, invitational and inspiring.
Our worship has a distinct focus each day. We look forward every day to our worship together in the hall. Everyone looks forward to this feeling of togetherness.
We have close links with the Reverend Alison Fulford who started her post here in the Parish in December 2020. Together we are able to continue to develop that strong link between our school, church and community.
- Monday – The Headteacher leads the whole school worship with the help of the Worship Council. The theme of our worship is linked to our school Christian values.
- Tuesday – KS2 worship is led by the KS2 team using 'Picture News' to explore topical themes with Year 6 School Council representatives. EYFS & KS1 have their own 'Picture News' worship session.
- Wednesday – Whole school worship is led by the KS1 team following our Christian values.
- Thursday – Whole school worship is led by outside Rev Alison Fulford, outside agencies or the Headteacher leads the worship developing a spiritual, moral, social or cultural focus.
- Friday – We come together to celebrate and praise. We take this opportunity to think about our school community and reflect on how, with God's help, we can reach our full potential. We share in the joy of all our achievements and take this time to be thankful for the many talents God has given us.
We regularly walk through the beautiful Doddington estate to hold services at St John's church. Parents are invited to attend. St John's was built in 1837 for the Delves Broughton family of Doddington
